Brown Water in Toilet after Flushing?

Question

Hi,

So I live in Summer dorms with my own bathroom and maybe like 2 weeks ago my toilet started to flush for a longer time. Like it would keep pushing water down after flushing any excretions (Not clogged because the flushes were still powerful).

I ignored it and figured that it would be fine to leave alone as I am moving out in a week. But, I just went to the bathroom and flushed, came back and now the toilet bowl is filled with brown water. I only went Pee. 

I am in a meeting until 7pm on my laptop and cannot even call anyone until after that. Is this an Emergency? Or is it safe to try flushing my toilet again?

Answer 1

maintenance issue.  give them a call.  likely cause -- the flapper valve needs to be replaced

Answer 2

The toilet innards (those parts in the tank) are rusted. You will have to replace them with newer plastic parts.
